P2Y receptors in neurogenesis [PDF]
AbstractG protein‐coupled P2Y receptors (Rs) regulate the function of embryonic and adult neural precursor cells (NPCs) which have the capacity to regenerate and give rise to cells belonging to all three major linages of the nervous system: neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes.

Purinergic receptor mediated calcium signalling in urothelial cells [PDF]
Non-neuronal ATP released from the urothelium in response to bladder stretch is a key modulator of bladder mechanosensation. Whilst non-neuronal ATP acts on the underlying bladder afferent nerves to facilitate sensation, there is also the potential for ...

Background Adrenal chromaffin cells mediate acute responses to stress through the release of epinephrine. Chromaffin cell function is regulated by several receptors, present both in adrenergic (AD) and noradrenergic (NA) cells.

Extracellular ATP drives systemic inflammation, tissue damage and mortality [PDF]
Systemic inflammatory response syndromes (SIRS) may be caused by both infectious and sterile insults, such as trauma, ischemia-reperfusion or burns. They are characterized by early excessive inflammatory cytokine production and the endogenous release of ...

AbstractBones are formed and remodeled by the coordinated actions of three key cell types. Osteoblasts, specialized connective tissue cells, deposit and then mineralize the collagenous bone matrix. Osteoclasts, which are derived from promonocytes, resorb mineralized matrix by excavating characteristic pits on bone surfaces.

Purinergic P2Y receptors are one of four types of Gq/11-coupled receptors in rat superior cervical ganglia (SCG) sympathetic neurons. In cultured SCG neurons, purinergic and bradykinin suppression of IM were similar in magnitude and somewhat less than ...

P2X1 and P2X5 subunits form the functional P2X receptor in mouse cortical astrocytes [PDF]
ATP plays an important role in signal transduction between neuronal and glial circuits and within glial networks. Here we describe currents activated by ATP in astrocytes acutely isolated from cortical brain slices by non-enzymatic mechanical ...

Regional differences in store-operated Ca2+ entry in the epithelium of the intact human lens [PDF]
An elevated level of Ca2+ is an important factor in cataract, yet precisely how Ca2+ enters the lens is unknown. Lens epithelial cells contain a range of G-protein–coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases that induce increases in intracellular Ca2+

Sympathetic nerve-derived ATP regulates renal medullary vasa recta diameter via pericyte cells: a role for regulating medullary blood flow? [PDF]
Pericyte cells are now known to be a novel locus of blood flow control, being able to regulate capillary diameter via their unique morphology and expression of contractile proteins.
